Guwahati, April 1: The tea industry has called for a higher green leaf price to help small tea growers emerge as quality producers. Speaking at the 127th annual general meeting of the Assam Branch of Indian Tea Association in Dibrugarh district today, ITA chairman Azam Monem said leaf price should be considerably higher for small tea growers so that they are able to invest in expensive but compliant plant protective measures and plucking.
